AHMEDABAD: Officials of the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board have started drawing plans for major topics of discussion for the next general meeting to be held on February 11. Sources aware of development said that a member has suggested introduction of two mathematics books - standard and basic - in higher standards on the line of CBSE. About 4 lakh students in Gujarat fail in mathematics and the move, proposed to be introduced in 2020, can help reduce the numbers.

"At the moment, the proposal is with executive committee. Once it is approved, it can be taken for the GM. Another point raised by members is about appointing another layer of paper-checking so that the totalling of marks can be improved," said an official. Committee will also suggest introduction of sports education and yoga as compulsory subject from class IV to XII for overall well-being of the students, said the official.
